Former President Donald Trump proposed renaming the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz to the 'Trump Strait' in a Truth Social post, claiming the U.S. now controls the waterway through which about 20% of the world's oil passes. The proposal, made amid the ongoing Iran War, follows similar renaming efforts like the Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America.' No official steps have been taken, and the U.S. does not actually control the strait, which Iran can throttle traffic through.
President Donald Trump posted AI-generated videos on Truth Social claiming Iran's Kharg Island, which handles 90% of Iran's oil exports, was "blown to smithereens." No evidence supports the claim; Kharg Island remains intact. The posts coincided with U.S. Central Command confirming limited strikes on Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated by launching ballistic missiles at U.S. bases in Jordan, which were intercepted.
On August 30, 2026, former President Donald Trump threatened to report NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for “rebuke or punishment” after she described his primary endorsement record as having “mixed results.” Trump cited high success rates for his endorsed candidates and urged FCC Chair Brendan Carr to act. The comment was made on a local NBC affiliate, not the national broadcast. The FCC generally does not regulate news content, making the threat unusual.
U.S. President Donald Trump escalated a trade dispute with Canada by proposing and later signing an executive order to rename Lake Ontario as "Lake America." The move followed failed trade talks, U.S. tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s defiant remarks. Canada retaliated with tariffs on U.S. electricity, oil, and minerals. Trump also repeated calls for Canada to become the 51st state, which Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected. The renaming echoes Trump’s earlier order to rename the Gulf of Mexico.
On August 1, 2026, Trump Media & Technology Group launched Truth API, a paid service offering hedge funds and high-frequency traders millisecond-early access to President Donald Trump's Truth Social posts for up to $100,000/month. Critics, including Senators Warren and Schiff, call it a potential violation of insider trading laws and the STOCK Act, as Trump can profit from market-moving policy announcements. The SEC has declined comment, while Trump Media defends it as monetizing proprietary assets.
President Donald Trump announced on August 12, 2026, that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will resign by the end of the month to spend more time with her two young children, including a daughter born in May. Leavitt, the youngest press secretary in U.S. history at age 28, will become a top external advisor to Trump and work with the Republican Party ahead of the November midterm elections. Her successor has not been named.
Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) reported a $238 million Q2 2026 net loss, driven by over $190 million in unrealized crypto losses, including Bitcoin and Cronos declines. Revenue remained minimal at $1.7 million, mostly from Truth Social advertising. Shares fell 8% to $9.39, erasing two weeks of gains. Truth Social traffic dropped 36% year-over-year. The company launched Truth API, signing over 10 customers at up to $100,000/month. President Trump’s net worth fell nearly $100 million to $6.4 billion.
President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clashed at Camp David over reports that the U.S. has depleted nearly all its long-range precision missiles and Patriot/THAAD interceptors during the ongoing war with Iran. Trump publicly denied the shortages on Truth Social, threatened leakers with prison, and ordered a leak probe. The Pentagon and White House dismissed the reports as fake news, but analysts estimate Patriot interceptors fell from 2,300 to under 830. The dispute highlights internal tensions over strategic readiness.
President Trump suggested temporarily withdrawing Todd Blanche’s nomination for U.S. Attorney General after Republican Senators Cornyn and Tillis blocked a committee vote. The holdouts demand changes to a $1.8 billion IRS settlement granting Trump immunity from audits. Blanche can remain acting AG, but Trump may wait until the senators leave office next year, risking a Democratic Senate takeover.
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared void several preemptive pardons issued by his predecessor Joe Biden, including those for members of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley. Trump claimed on his Truth Social platform that the pardons were invalid because they were signed by an autopen without Biden's knowledge, though he provided no evidence. He acknowledged that the courts would ultimately decide the matter. The move is part of Trump's broader effort to prosecute political opponents. On his first day in office, Trump had pardoned or commuted sentences for over 1,500 individuals connected to the January 6 attack. The article notes that both Biden and Trump have used pardon powers to protect allies, and that courts have historically been reluctant to limit presidential pardon authority under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
President Donald Trump reposted a Truth Social message from commentator Tim Pool calling Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett 'clearly terrified of the left,' escalating his criticism of the conservative justice. Barrett, whom Trump appointed in 2020, has recently broken with his administration on key cases. In February, she joined a 6-3 majority striking down Trump's sweeping global tariffs. She also sided with liberal justices to block Trump's attempt to freeze nearly $2 billion in foreign aid. Additionally, Barrett dissented in Fischer v. United States, arguing a federal obstruction law should apply to January 6 rioters, while the court narrowed its application. These rulings have drawn ire from the right, including Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., who called for Barrett's removal. Trump has privately expressed frustration with Barrett, according to ABC News. The Supreme Court is in summer recess and will reconvene in October.
Trump Media & Technology Group announced a new data feed service, 'Truth API' (also called Truth PSI), providing Wall Street trading firms and banks with millisecond-early access to posts from top Truth Social accounts, including President Donald Trump’s. The service, launching August 1, aims to monetize market-moving content, with potential fees up to $100,000 per month. Critics call it a form of corruption, while the company sees it as a new revenue stream amid financial struggles.
President Donald Trump endorsed Amir Hassan, a Navy veteran and former federal law enforcement officer, for Michigan's 8th Congressional District on Truth Social. Despite Hassan's military service, Christian faith reaffirmation, and America First platform, Trump's MAGA base reacted with racist and Islamophobic comments. Supporters accused Trump of endorsing a 'Muslim candidate,' questioned his judgment, and made anti-Muslim statements. Hassan, who is Muslim and was born in Flint, Michigan, has stated zero tolerance for extremists and strong support for Israel. The backlash highlights tensions within Trump's base over religious identity and immigration.
President Trump criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci on Wednesday, just before Fauci began his testimony before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that more people died from COVID-19 under the Biden administration than under his own, and praised Operation Warp Speed as 'SPECTACULAR.' The article highlights the ongoing political tension between Trump and Fauci, a former White House chief medical adviser, as Fauci faced Senate questioning.
President Donald Trump insulted CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs aboard Air Force One on July 27, 2026, calling her question 'stupid' after she asked why he wanted the Senate to cancel its August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration. Trump repeated the insult and then defended his legislative priority, warning that failure to pass the bill would be 'very bad for the party.' He also posted on Truth Social urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep senators in Washington or terminate the filibuster, accusing Democrats of exploiting Republican leadership. The Senate recess is scheduled from August 6 to September 14.
On July 27, 2026, President Donald Trump insulted CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs aboard Air Force One, calling her question 'stupid' after she asked why he wanted the Senate to cancel its August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. Trump repeated the insult and then defended the legislation, warning that failure to pass it would be 'very bad for the party.'

The Senate recess is scheduled from August 6 to September 14.
A federal judge has declined to immediately dismiss President Donald Trump's $15 billion defamation lawsuit against The New York Times, instead ordering Trump to file an amended complaint by August 27. The order, signed by District Court Judge Steven D. Merryday, defers ruling on the Times' motion to dismiss and gives the newspaper three weeks to respond to the revised complaint. Trump celebrated the decision as a victory on Truth Social. The lawsuit, filed in September 2025, alleges the Times defamed Trump with false statements about his business reputation and attempted to sabotage his 2024 presidential campaign. The suit targets articles and a book titled 'Lucky Loser.' This is the second time the judge has required revisions; he previously threw out the original 85-page complaint for being too long and lacking conciseness. The amended complaint may exceed the previous 40-page limit if it contains factual allegations consistent with court rules.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated President Trump’s “patience is running out” with Senate Majority Leader John Thune over the stalled SAVE Act, which would require voter ID and proof of citizenship. Thune pushed back, urging the White House to secure votes themselves amid a 50-50 Senate. The dispute highlights intra-party tensions as the bill faces a 60-vote threshold, with a potential government shutdown looming in September. Trump has tied the bill’s passage to other legislation, causing a broader legislative stalemate.
On July 26, 2026, President Donald Trump spent over six hours posting AI-generated images on his Truth Social page, starting at 11:16 a.m. with a manipulated image of CNN's Kaitlan Collins as transgender model Dylan Mulvaney. The posts targeted figures like Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie, Jerry Nadler, and Rosie O'Donnell, and included flattering mock movie posters of himself and pro-Iran war propaganda. None of the images had text. The article, from The New Republic, interprets this behavior as evidence of cognitive decline, citing past incidents such as Trump throwing a tablet after a bad call with world leaders, rambling about paper clips, and zoning out during a photo op. The piece expresses concern over his mental state with two years remaining in his second term.
On July 26, 2026, President Donald Trump spent over six hours posting AI-generated images on his Truth Social page, starting at 11:16 a.m. The images included derogatory depictions of CNN's Kaitlan Collins as transgender model Dylan Mulvaney, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie, Jerry Nadler, and Rosie O'Donnell. He also posted flattering mock movie posters of himself and an image with John F. Kennedy. The posts were interspersed with campaign photos and pro-Iran war propaganda, including repeating nine Iran war memes three times in an hour. The article, from The New Republic, asserts this behavior indicates cognitive decline, citing past incidents like throwing a tablet, rambling about paper clips, and zoning out during a photo op. The piece expresses concern about Trump's mental state with two years remaining in his term.
On July 27, 2026, President Donald Trump engaged in a weekend posting spree on Truth Social, publishing 43 AI-generated images between 11:16 a.m. and 5:16 p.m. ET. The posts mocked critics including CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Christie, and Rosie O'Donnell, and depicted late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon as broke and unemployed. Trump also shared deepfakes threatening Iran, showing Kharg Island under bombardment and oil tankers seized by U.S. forces. Several posts floated the idea of a 2028 presidential run, despite constitutional term limits. A recurring theme portrayed Trump as a national savior alongside former presidents, including AI images of Trump with John F. Kennedy and George Washington. Additionally, Trump attacked Senate Majority Leader John Thune over recess appointments, omitting that President Biden also made zero such appointments.
President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Morocco is naming a 655-mile highway after him, stretching from Tiznit to Laayoune and Dakhla in the disputed Western Sahara territory. Trump thanked King Mohammed VI and expressed hope to travel the highway. The announcement video praised Trump's 'historic courage' for supporting Morocco's claim to Western Sahara, which he first recognized in 2020 as part of the Abraham Accords. The Trump administration reaffirmed this support in 2025 and encouraged U.S. investment in the territory. Morocco is also building a $1 billion deepwater port in Dakhla. The White House did not comment. The Polisario Front, backed by Algeria, continues to seek an independent state in the territory.
President Donald Trump threatened on Truth Social to destroy one bridge or power plant in Iran for every attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The article notes that targeting civilian infrastructure is prohibited by international humanitarian law and would cause disproportionate harm to civilians. It alleges that the U.S. military has already committed war crimes in the campaign against Iran, including bombing a nuclear power plant, executing a double-tap strike on a bridge, violating rules of engagement, and killing dozens of children at a school. The report characterizes Trump's approach as failed negotiation tactics and notes that the U.S. military is running out of weapons and money, while the death toll of U.S. service members has risen to 18 with hundreds injured.
President Donald Trump threatened on Truth Social to destroy one bridge or power plant for every Iranian attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, a move that international humanitarian law prohibits as a war crime. The article alleges the U.S. military has already committed war crimes in the campaign, including bombing a nuclear power plant, executing a double-tap strike on a bridge, violating rules of engagement, and killing dozens of children at a primary school. It characterizes Trump's strategy as failed negotiation through relentless bombing, while noting the U.S. military is running out of weapons and money. The death toll of U.S. service members has risen to 18, with hundreds more injured. The report is sourced from The New Republic and includes links to supporting articles and legal references.
The New Republic reports that President Donald Trump is attempting to frame the death of 18 U.S. service members in the Iran military conflict as a positive outcome by comparing the toll to higher casualties in past wars like Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, and Korea. Trump posted a comparison on Truth Social, listing death tolls and durations of various conflicts, including the Iran conflict (4 months, 18 dead). The article criticizes Trump for using service member deaths for self-promotion, citing his behavior at dignified transfers—wearing a gaudy hat at one, skipping another, and using a third for content against families' wishes. The piece notes that following the collapse of Trump's ceasefire deal, at least four more U.S. service members were killed, bringing the total to 18, with roughly 500 injured, according to the Department of Defense. The article also includes unrelated coverage of Trump's legal battle with E. Jean Carroll.
The article argues that the U.S. and Canada are failing to prevent catastrophic wildfires due to insufficient fuels treatment, such as forest thinning and prescribed burning. It notes that in July 2026, smoke from Canadian wildfires caused severe air quality alerts across the Midwest and Northeast, affecting over 100 million Americans. The authors critique both climate change explanations and political blame (e.g., President Trump blaming Canada) as incomplete, emphasizing that a century of fire suppression and neglect of forest management has created excessive fuel loads. They cite a 2025 study estimating that Canada's 2023 fires contributed to 33,000 premature deaths in the U.S. The piece calls for targeted fuels treatment to reduce fire intensity and improve firefighter containment chances.
President Trump posted threats of retaliation against Iran on Truth Social, stating that every American soldier killed by Iran would be avenged 'many times over.' This came after two U.S. soldiers were killed in an Iranian attack on a Jordan base and a third in northern Iraq, bringing total American casualties to 17. The U.S. has conducted nine straight days of bombing against Iran. Hours before the threat, the White House X account posted an unattributed poll claiming 60% voter support for a Trump Iran peace deal, despite no such deal existing. An initial U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding collapsed earlier in July after three weeks. The article criticizes the administration's messaging as contradictory and highlights the disconnect between touting peace and escalating military action.
President Trump posted threats of retaliation against Iran on Truth Social, stating that every American soldier killed would be avenged 'many times over.'

The U.S. has conducted nine consecutive days of bombing in Iran. Hours before Trump's threat, the White House X account posted an unattributed poll claiming 60% of voters support a peace deal with Iran. However, the article notes that no such peace deal exists; an initial memorandum of understanding collapsed earlier in July. The piece criticizes the administration for touting a deal while escalating military action.
President Donald Trump called for a review of an updated federal judges' manual on Sunday, alleging improper influence by the left. The demand follows the removal of a controversial climate science chapter from the manual, which occurred after pressure from conservative groups. Trump posted on Truth Social that the manuals have been 'totally DISCREDITED' and that federal judges deserve 'Facts and Science.' The incident highlights ongoing political tensions over judicial resources and climate science content in official government materials.
This Fortune news briefing covers multiple stories. Trump Media & Technology Group's proposal to sell early access to Trump's Truth Social posts and eliminate quarterly SEC filings is criticized as creating a rigged two-tiered market. Global markets are mixed with oil prices briefly exceeding $91 per barrel. A key cybersecurity story highlights the 'harvest now, decrypt later' threat, where hackers steal encrypted data now, banking on future quantum computers to crack it. TDK Ventures is investing $500 million in quantum security defenses. In sports, Goldman Sachs correctly predicted the World Cup final between Spain and Argentina. Geopolitically, Iran vows to close the Strait of Hormuz to oil and gas transit amid ongoing U.S. airstrikes and rising casualties.
